"Kite" - 3/10/07
Yesterday revealed
my friend reattempting
to end this life
suffering so long
refusing to let me help
in any way nonetheless
Today was a truck
running over my insides
if that is possible
(surface intact)
what will tomorrow be like?
I pray for an understanding
beyond my fears
I lie down with demons
to see what death must
feel like it or not this is
real
and it
spills
---
Today I overslept
through two alarms
an apt analogy
for this mournful epoch
slow was I to respond
consumed with new
Love and future's work
now present is tangled
equally with lies
a kite I can't
follow even as it
flies
